Wigner Crystalization in Semiconductor Quantum Wires

Authors: I. AL-HAYEK, B. TANATAR, M. TOMAK

Abstract: We study the Wigner crystallization in semiconductor quantum wires within the density functional approach. As the density of electrons in quasi-one-dimensional structures is lowered, we find that the system favors the crystalline phase as envisioned by Wigner.
